I think it depends on what and how you believe in life and death in this life. It doesn’t sound like someone like you is bothered by it. But many people that grow up with deeply held life long beliefs would find it disturbing.
The whole idea that it would negate or disprove the whole Judeo-Christian old world religions … or any other well established centuries old religions in the world. Entire cultures are built on the idea that their religion or their belief is central to the entire universe, that it is true, that it can never be questioned, that it is eternal and that it makes sense to them. For some with a tenuous grasp of their religion, it wouldn’t really matter that much … but for many who may not regularly follow their religion, challenging it with something else tends to upset their world beliefs.
Most people don’t like to be proven wrong about the most basic things … imagine showing them they’re wrong on the most important immovable beliefs in their lives.

I have to agree with the previous comment. I do not find this horrific or even disturbing, but very comforting.
Can you help us understand what aspects of this you feel some people might find discomforting?
